Wool
Wool is the fibre derived from the
fur of animals of the
Caprinae family, principally
sheep, but the hair of certain species of other
mammals such as
goats,
llamas and
rabbits may also be called wool. This article deals explicitly with the wool produced from
domestic sheep.Wool has two qualities that distinguish it from hair or fur: it has scales which overlap like shingles on a roof and it is
crimped; in some fleeces the wool fibres have more than 20 bends per inch.

To dream of wool, is a pleasing sign of prosperous opportunities to expand your interests.
